BIOThanks for stopping by! As of lately, I've been working on an animated short, "The Odd Father". It's kind of a spoof of the opening scene of the Godfather, but with a warped twist. I'll be posting scenes and characters as they are developed.
The rest of my days are spent working as a Creative Director for an AD agency in New York. Thanks again for the stop by, email me with any questions!

Description

This is a character I did at work for an animation last year. It was terribly rushed and I never really liked it, yet I always liked the idea of it. Having some free time this week I decided to revisit if for a still. This is about 80% 3d render, and 20% Photoshop illustration. I set up a basic skin texture in LW and rendered all the lights in separate passes to give me complete control. I had radiosity, keylight, fill and a rim light passes set up. Since the original version was so rushed, I added many details in PS. It was quite relaxing to do something on "my time" again. In fact I liked it so much, I feel I may have "overworked it", but it was worth it.
Thanks for viewing.

I don't think you overworked it, on the contrary- I think its a fantastic result from the cumulation of seperate render passes and photoshop work- this is very high quality artwork! I really like how the red side lighting accentuates the details in his very complex face.

By far the best,....and probably only, orc portrait I've ever seen!!! This is just amazing work!! You really should consider contacting Games Workshop, and offering it for sale. WOW!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I knew a Bruce when I was a kid growing up. You seem to have captured his sense of self expertly.

I haven't visited your gallery for a while and have missed out at some awesome work. This is character modeling at it's best. Lighting, texture, everything about is simply most excellent. Wish I was as good as this.

Sort of looks like a 'back to the forges' kind of portrait, especially with choice of colours in your fill & rim lights. Really kool character and ...erm, texture therapy ! Well done & ~Cheers~
